    Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones released in this measured quarter. Mainly COD pulling these numbers up.

    30% is huge though. I think with game pass, keeping those subscribers means adding more high quality games at a good cadence. Doom the dark ages, Avowed, Fable releasing this year might be a part of this strategy.

      This year is already looking crazy good. Citizen Sleeper 2, the surprise drop of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Ninja Gaiden 4 day one, O.G. Diablo… The hits just keep coming.

        I had a game pass sub a couple of years ago and quit it because the games that I wanted to play quickly ran out. I had a sub for a month until a few days ago and I must say game pass is in a way better place than it used to be.

        Nine Sols, Kunitsu Gami, Cocoon, Chants of Senaar and black ops 6 campaign were all unexpectedly good experiences.

      I don’t think Fable is releasing this year, they’ve still shown barely anything and it was missing entirely from their recent developer direct of high profile 2025 games.

        How good does Doom run! It is incredibly well optimised. My steam deck was getting a solid 60fps on medium settings from memory.

          Maxed out, 60 fps. I like vsync when the card is good enough, so it’s locked there. Buttery smooth, I just suck and run out of ammo all the time lol

            Just asking why for the vsync? I got a new PC last fall and have only used freesync going forward. I wasn’t aware there was still a reason to vsync ever again if you had the option to do so.

              No idea, I don’t know what freesync is, I turned on vsync and it was super smooth, didn’t look past that.

              I don’t game a lot, just wanted to play a few newer titles.

                Ahhh, my bad. I figured you were talking about freesync (AMD) or g-sync (Nvidea) options, which allows you to get the benefit of vsync without using as many resources to power it. Your monitor and gpu have to support it before it can be enabled. I was like, how is this bad haha!?
